As of right now, my current set up is Luxilon alu rough at 53. This has got to be my favorite string at the moment. The only thing I don't like about it is the tension maintenance, and the price. I'm looking for something that plays similar, and the price isn't so high. I ordered some kirschbaum black shark a little while ago but just didn't really like it, I didn't feel like a had the control I did with the luxilon. What do you guys recommend?

This is the question that has been asked for years, and the string you want.....does not exist. Nothing on the market now replicates the feel of any type of ALU. Topspin Cyberflash up to 2010 did feel remarkably similar, but the formulation is new.

I would recommend you try Tour Bite if you have not yet. A good stiff playing spin monster of a string. Doesn't feel like ALU, but still damn good.

SigPro Tornado and Tecnifibre Black Code and TEcnifibre Ruff Code are also premium grade rough co-polys. They want feel exactly like ALU but they are very very good and last a bit longer before trampolining or dull.

I was looking for alu power replacement. 2 options that you should look at:
Big hitter silver rough 16gg. This has the crisp feel like alu but not too stiff
Or
Genesis typhoon. Really good for the first couple hours, than loses its great playability.

Typhoon is better than bhsr at first but drops below bhsr after a couple of hours
